1 Samuel 17:34-58

34And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, Thy servantH5650 wasH1961 keeping his father’sH1 sheepH6629; and when there cameH935 a lionH738, or a bearH5375, and tookH5375 a lambH7716 out of the flockH6629, 35I wentH3318 out after him, and smote him, and deliveredH5337 it out of his mouthH6310; and when he aroseH6965 against me, I caught him by his beardH2206, and smote him, and slew him. 36Thy servantH5650 smote both the lionH738 and the bearH1677: and this uncircumcisedH6189 PhilistineH6430 shall beH1961 as oneH259 of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living GodH430. 37And DavidH1732 saidH559, Jehovah that deliveredH5337 me out of the paw of the lionH738, and out of the paw of the bearH1677, he will deliverH5337 me out of the handH3027 of this PhilistineH6430. And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, Go, and Jehovah shall beH1961 with thee. 38And SaulH7586 clad DavidH1732 with his apparel, and he putH5414 a helmetH6959 of brass upon his headH7218, and he clad him with a coat of mail. 39And DavidH1732 girdedH2296 his swordH2719 upon his apparel, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto SaulH7586, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And DavidH1732 put them off him. 40And he tookH3947 his staffH4731 in his handH3027, and choseH977 him fiveH2568 smooth stonesH68 out of the brook, and putH7760 them in the shepherd’s bag which he had, even in his wallet; and his sling was in his handH3027: and he drewH5066 near to the PhilistineH6430.

41And the PhilistineH6430 cameH1980 on and drew near unto DavidH1732; and the manH376 that bare the shieldH6793 wentH1980 before him. 42And when the PhilistineH6430 lookedH7200 about, and sawH7200 DavidH1732, he disdained him; for he wasH1961 but a youthH5288, and ruddy, and withal of a fair countenance. 43And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, Am I a dogH3611, that thou comest to me with staves? And the PhilistineH6430 cursedH7043 DavidH1732 by his godsH430. 44And the PhilistineH6430 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Come to me, and I will giveH5414 thy fleshH1320 unto the birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064, and to the beasts of the fieldH7704. 45Then saidH559 DavidH1732 to the PhilistineH6430, Thou comest to me with a swordH2719, and with a spearH2595, and with a javelinH3591: but I comeH935 to thee in the nameH8034 of Jehovah of hostsH6635, the GodH430 of the armiesH6635 of IsraelH3478, whom thou hast defied. 46This dayH3117 will Jehovah deliver thee into my handH3027; and I will smite thee, and take thy headH7218 from off thee; and I will giveH5414 the dead bodies of the host of the PhilistinesH6430 this dayH3117 unto the birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064, and to the wild beasts of the earthH776; that all the earthH776 may knowH3045 that there is a GodH430 in IsraelH3478, 47and that all this assemblyH6951 may knowH3045 that Jehovah saveth not with swordH2719 and spearH2595: for the battleH4421 is Jehovah’s, and he will giveH5414 you into our handH3027. 48And it came to pass, when the PhilistineH6430 aroseH6965, and came and drewH7126 nigh to meetH7122 DavidH1732, that DavidH1732 hastenedH4116, and ranH7323 toward the army to meetH7122 the PhilistineH6430. 49And DavidH1732 put his handH3027 in his bag, and tookH3947 thence a stoneH68, and slang it, and smote the PhilistineH6430 in his foreheadH4696; and the stoneH68 sank into his foreheadH4696, and he fellH5307 upon his faceH6440 to the earthH776.

50So DavidH1732 prevailedH2388 over the PhilistineH6430 with a sling and with a stoneH68, and smote the PhilistineH6430, and slew him; but there was no swordH2719 in the handH3027 of DavidH1732. 51Then DavidH1732 ranH7323, and stoodH5975 over the PhilistineH6430, and tookH3947 his swordH2719, and drewH8025 it out of the sheathH8593 thereof, and slew him, and cutH3772 off his headH7218 therewith. And when the PhilistinesH6430 sawH7200 that their champion was deadH4191, they fledH5127. 52And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 and of JudahH3063 aroseH6965, and shoutedH7321, and pursuedH7291 the PhilistinesH6430, until thou comest to Gai, and to the gatesH8179 of EkronH6138. And the woundedH2491 of the PhilistinesH6430 fellH5307 downH5307 by the wayH1870 to ShaaraimH8189, even unto GathH1661, and unto EkronH6138. 53And the children of IsraelH3478 returnedH7725 from chasing after the PhilistinesH6430, and they plunderedH8155 their campH4264. 54And DavidH1732 tookH3947 the headH7218 of the PhilistineH6430, and broughtH935 it to JerusalemH3389; but he putH7760 his armorH3627 in his tentH168.

55And when SaulH7586 sawH7200 DavidH1732 goH3318 forthH3318 against the PhilistineH6430, he saidH559 unto AbnerH74, the captain of the hostH6635, AbnerH74, whose sonH1121 is this youthH5288? And AbnerH74 saidH559, As thy soulH5315 liveth, O kingH4428, I cannot tell. 56And the kingH4428 saidH559, Inquire thou whose sonH1121 the stripling is. 57And as DavidH1732 returnedH7725 from the slaughter of the PhilistineH6430, AbnerH74 tookH3947 him, and broughtH935 him before SaulH7586 with the headH7218 of the PhilistineH6430 in his handH3027. 58And SaulH7586 saidH559 to him, Whose sonH1121 art thou, thou youngH5288 manH5288? And DavidH1732 answered, I am the sonH1121 of thy servantH5650 JesseH3448 the Beth-lehemite.
